Well, it's worth talking about to me. I suspect that, for reasons not related to political leaning, we would STILL be hearing about it if Obama had done the exact same thing. I know that my credibility in my field would be
shot to hell if I played college hopscotch like she did.
4 colleges in 5 years is a lot, especially when you consider that she didn't change disciplines during her college career. It wasn't as if she started out as a chemical engineering major and changed to journalism and decided to transfer to a school where she could actually do more in that field. It doesn't even seem to be financially-related. I will concede that she may have been homesick in Hawaii, but what it indicates to me is that she lacked either the sense of commitment at that time in her life or the intellectual rigor to complete a college education in one place.
ETA: I would be just as hard on a liberal for changing colleges like one would change a pair of socks.
